BTS member RM's hometown is Ilsan, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do. He also mentioned Ilsan in his childhood when he gave a speech at the United Nations in 2018 under the theme of 'Speak Yourself'. He attended Baekseok Elementary School and Shinil Middle School, and dreamed of becoming a 'rapper' since middle school. At the Goyang Tourist Information Center, there is a RM mural measuring 18m in x_width and 12m in x_height. In ‘Ma City’, there are lyrics such as “Lake Park is better than the Hangang River,” “La Festa and Western Dome that felt like home,” and “The Hugok Academy Village that raised me as a child” so it’s good to visit these places together.

Seongmodo Shrubby Sea-blite Habitat is a habitat where a colony of shrubby sea-blite flourishes on tidal flats. Situated on the route to Minmeoru Beach, accessible via the Seongmodaegyo Bridge, this area is known for the robust growth of seepweed, which forms colonies in tidal flats or areas with high salinity. From September to mid-October, the landscape transforms with vibrant reddish-pink flowers, often referred to as the "fall foliage of the sea."
